Operation in Bad Kohlgrub: The demolition squad was in demand.

It had to remove a hand grenade from a garden.

Bad Kohlgrub – moment of shock on the holiday: A Bad Kohlgruber (66) discovered a hand grenade in his garden around 8:10 p.m. on Thursday evening.

The local informed the police.

This notified the demolition squad, which professionally disposed of the find.

Clemens Schmitz, deputy head of the Murnau inspection, speaks of a harmless specimen.

In the same breath, he expressly praises the man's actions.

"Absolutely stay away from it and call the police," he says.

Only experts can determine whether the explosive devices pose a threat.

It is not uncommon for such bullets to appear.

It was not until June 3 that a walker found a tank shell in Riegsee.

The officials are reluctant to publish concrete data about the location.

They don't want to be secretive, they just want to avoid "treasure hunters going there and digging around," says Schmitz.

Roughly speaking, in the Bad Kohlgruber case it was an area close to the roadbed.
